The Most In-Depth + Honest Day Trading Guide on YouTube (for beginners to advanced traders)

You will not find a more honest and complete day trading guide for beginners. The other ones are from KZbinrs who are trying to sell you a course, a private discord server, trade alert system, or something else. This isn't an hour of unscripted rambling about candlestick patterns 🤡

As a fellow 23 year old I must say man what you are doing is incredible. I found this channel after falling down the 7 levels of youtube trading hell. Being fed all this info about indicators, alligators and other garbage. Then I found Mark Douglas, Tom Hougaard, Al Brooks and then you. Before this channel, I was getting sick of videos either being too dated or too flashy, I just wanted someone to relate with and tell me how it is without the fluff. It was your video on supply and demand where you used the "Yes" meme guy for your thumbnail that made me go, holy shit finally someone who isn't trying to put on "cigar smokin, lambo whippin, cash money" vibes. Never would I have ever imagined I would chuckle out loud at a sup/dem video as well so thanks for that. But for real man, you are doing stellar stuff for this community, you re sparked the obsession to become an experienced trader and to stop getting out of my own way. Been watching day trader next door's vids as well religiously because of your recommendation as well. I feel like the gears are beginning to turn and I am starting to think about trading much differently than I did when I started a year ago and it is because of channels like yours. Anyways, keep doing you, what you are bringing to the noobs is priceless. Someday I would love to document my trading journey on the tube, but for now I must grind until I can be a valuable asset to others as you have been to me.

I have learned to listen to and only stick with just ONE or TWO mentor traders who are doing pretty good. The ones who are teaching from their semi lived in bedrooms doing live trades WHILE they are teaching someone are usually the best. The rest of the learning just simply comes from EXPERIENCE.. Its like anything else. The more you do it, the better you get. The more you fall down, the more you learn what NOT to do. Cooking!! I want you to cook me the BEST fried chicken EVER!! If you try once a month? That's 12 attempts. Its good, but not great. But If you try every day? Thats 365 attempts. Now your cooking with grease!! You will have failed about 30% of those attempts. Did good on 50%. But that last 20% at the end of the year? OMG!! Trust me after 365 sessions of cooking Emillio's extra crispy super sauced fried chicken? Your dish will be OUTSTANDING!! I did pretty good all last week. But I took a NICE hit today. I got too confident. Loosened up my stop loss and WHAM! Ugggh!! I knew better too! But it made me think about WHY I was doing good LAST week. Had one of those light bulb moments. That was another lesson I learned what NOT to do. I'M GLAD IT HAPPENED cause I'm wiser now. PAIN IS THE BEST TEACHER!

One of the "best" (its claimed to be great,but shit by many people) TA books written by John J Murphy was written by a dude who wasn't a trader and wanted to make a buck off it. The info in that book is hit or miss at best. HFT is 51% win rate these guys have 49% losing trades, yet make a buck from their 1% of winning trade and the scope of trades they make.

I've been watching you religiously for a few months now. I started trading in covid like everyone else and I always wanted to make videos explaining how I do it and what mistakes I think are important to look out for. I was too lazy, but it's an idea that was in my head. I basically gave up on the idea when I found your channel - you said everything I felt like I wanted to say and so much more, in a way that actually makes sense and can be followed. (This video is addressed to you from a few years ago, to give you the best pointers on how to figure the system out, rather than explaining what to do? That's how I imagine that you imagine it). I don't regularly watch many channels but I watch your main channel videos and second channel videos whenever they come out. You're completely right about a hell of a lot and you don't try to fluff any of it up, and that's earned you a big fan. Keep doing what you're doing.

Just found your channel and I'm laughing and learning a lot. Thank you. I have spent a lot, A LOT, of time watching market videos of every kind, macro, TA, patterns, candles, indicators, etc...

It wasn't until I moved past all these things and found my own style, my own edge, my own intuition that I began to find success. I've been dabbling with trading in my spare time for close to 5 years and I am finally finding success and feeling like I can do this consistently. That said, I'm learning things from your videos that I still didn't know about. I look forward to watching more of your content. Keep up the great work. Cheers!

Today, I watched the video till the end, and I can confidently say that I have improved significantly since I started. I genuinely appreciate your instructions on understanding the market, building a strong mental position, and establishing rules for trading. Even after two months, I am still using a demo account, but it feels more like playing a game-a game where I invest time in training and learning the buttons and their functions. I repeat the same strategies and analyze every detail, just like I would in any other game, aiming to achieve a top rank or be among the best. I can't thank you enough for teaching in such a unique way. Your willingness to share this valuable information is truly admirable. Thank you so much! I eagerly look forward to your next video. Although this one served as a refresher, it was incredibly helpful in reminding me to stay focused.

Very good summary, especially for American traders. Elsewhere, different rules apply to lot designations, spread-betting and tax. The US, Euro and Australasia sometimes refuse clients from outside their region. You did not mention broker/legal leverage: this is very limited (30:1 or lower) in some regions and will restrict how much profit you can make from your capital base; 100:1 leverage is optimal.

Thank you so much for making this video 😊As a clinical psychologist, I’d say you definitely made the right choice with respect to career path. Psychology is a fairly brutal career field with tons of liability and few rewards (at least few monetary rewards anyway). BTW - awesome sense of humor 😂

[@leahleahleah]

Agreed. Coming from another psychologist

[@jace765]

Thanks mate! Refreshingly honest content with sincere intention. Much appreciated 🙏

This is by far the best video about trading I have seen. All the invaluable, priceless information (given for free... thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏) is presented in such an entertaining and humorous way. Much appreciated!

[@hardwaybets]

Single-handedly…one of the very best videos I have ever watched about trading in general and specifically for beginner traders I have ever seen. I am thoroughly impressed.

[@ImanTrading]

I appreciate that a lot. Thank you!

[@IlanTarabula]

Thank you so much for your honesty. I really needed this video as I've been struggling as hell for the past few weeks. I keep pushing though but man the path is tough. Anyways, thanks for the video !

[@avocado_circle]

Thanks so incredibly much for this video. I was about to go headlong into trading with real money and following advice from places like The Trading Channel and others. Real green and over excited! I'll now be doing a LOT of work (months) with "fake" money and put your guides into practice. I feel like I've dodged a bullet! Thanks again.

[@ReppaBerra]

I've been training myself since 3 to 4 months now, came accros a lot of cr** on KZbin, i am really glad to hear you say what i think inside! i only regret i didn't find your channel earlier ! great job, and wish you a lot of success (not only refering to trading)

[@accompliceX]

Well hell. I needed this in 2020 when I started. Credit to you my friend. I have lost more money then I can even believe trying to find my way to victory. Repeat mistake after repeat mistake. Blown up more times then I can admit. But it's time to let insanity go (doing the same things over and over hoping for a different outcome) you really said it all. Here's to those ready to follow what Iman says in this video. May the success happen for you all. Cheers.

[@joshua.market]

Absolute legend. Thanks brother. You explained perfectly what I'm going through right now. Been trading options on RH on my phone the last couple months. I'm very profitable but I know there's no way it can be consistent long-term. Gonna try a futures sim account and get some more experience there. Thanks for the effort in making this. Hope the best for you and your fiance!

[@walternovella3231]

Thank you! For the effort to put this together, Of all info here in KZbin this is the most honest video I watch, Thank you very much.

[@Saving_Sanity]

Thank you for the information! I appreciate the 3 months and will take another watch to catch more of the topics.

[@MrBigwig82]

I’m a profitable trader. Have been for more then a year constantly. You did a great service with this video. I would argue that the most important thing is to find a profitable trader and directly learn from them. Do whatever you have to do to watch them trade and ask questions. Most of trading is mental work.

[@meekmanticore3352]

Thank you so much for making this video, this really gave me a ton of insight on how to trade buy I just have one quick question. If you don't look at trends or ups and down when trading, how do you decide where you think the candlestick will go up or down?

[@aminekostone1411]

I think this is probably the best trading video on KZbin. I've been in the trading thing for +25 years and have to say you have it bang on.

[@whordie6970]

Loved this video and you sense of humor kills me! Thank you

[@jasz5158]

guys im gonna start daytrading from tomorrow, gonna watch this video tmr and then start my journey as a 18yr old wish me luck and if anyone has any extra advice please give it to me as I'm a broke uni student with no job

[@aquatist]

Same age as well and about to go into college. I saved up some money I made and devoted a fraction of that into my broker. Good luck bro

[@nerrorr6033]

How’s it go gang lemme know if you had to sell grandmas tv to make ends meet 🙏

[@Iceman-trades]

You beautiful soul 😊 thank you for sharing this. I Started trading in 2018 and I WISH I had this. Everything you said was spot on. Its stuff I already knew but I Hope more newbies find this. We all had to go through growing pains to become profitable but Better to lose the money gaining experience in the market rather than buying another course. You rock Iman!! 🎉💪🏽 I wish you good fortune both in the market and in KZbin

[@Sonick88]

wow... I was not expecting this. I learned a lot and had so much fun watching.. I love your sense of humor

[@glennglazier4046]

This is pure Gold. You are one of the exceedingly *FEW* in the Trading Community who is speaking truth, as displeasurable it may be to some people's ears.

[@Relive-Anime]

My dream is to trade and run a KZbin channel on the side. I've been training for 3 years now to make sure I can trade and make money. Gathering information from KZbin. Separating the many lies from the few truths online. Spending time in sims and journaling my wins and loses. And I must say that finding this video was like finding buried treasure because it's the best thing I have ever seen. I can tell how sincere and genuine it is. Like I don't feel like I'm trying to be sold anything or tricked into anything like so many other channels do. I hope this video blows up because this will help lots of people who decide to listen to it and watch all the way through. Keep up the great work. I'll be looking into futures trading now so let's make some money (Paper traded money for me still lol)

[@user-bh6vt6lr1q]

Thank you so much for being a real and quite hilarious KZbinr who keeps me engaged all the way through. I am currently 18 years old and finishing up my first semester at UA; trying to find my place in this world. I really enjoyed your video, writing more than 5 pages of notes in just over 3 hours. Glad I found your KZbin channel, can't wait to watch and like more videos on your channel. If anyone has any advice, opportunities, or channels like Iman's please comment!

[@stealthboy28]

Alabama?

[@WillOstrick]

Really good content, thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. All the way until the end :) Looking forward to your next

[@Anasef]

I agree: "WOW!". I never thought I would stick to a trading video for over 1 hour and still feel I have to rewatch it again. This is above all a communication masterpiece.

[@ricklopez8431]

Iman, I am very grateful to have watched this video while still in my paper trading phase. Like you mentioned in the mistakes category, I am guilty of averaging down, revenge trading, and treating it more like gambling than strategy. But thanks to this video, it will help me teach me further in this learning process.

[@vladvmiller]

If this video won't make 1 mil views in a year, I don't what to think about our AI overlords. Seriously, this is great, and I'm great because I watched it all through. And, first of all, you're great for all your FREE content and inspirational ideas. Thank you Iman!

[@ImanTrading]

Haha thank you very much :)

[@companyjoe]

It was just a joke! I'm sure he didn't mean to criticize the AI. It's just an expression we humans use, he doesn't ... oh... well, I tried... Back to the topic! Yes, true words of wisdom Iman thank you!

[@jarrettw1981]

your real-ness is refreshing. Thank you very much for all the work you put into sharing this.

[@cole4987]

Amazing video, really made me understand which direction to go in.

[@willbeaudoin201]

Amazing vid hahaha wish I found this 2 years ago. From what I can tell your story is damn similar to mine, and I know you're tryna stay anonymous and all but I hope someday I can buy you a beer. Godspeed brother lets get the bag

[@kevinvu1745]

Big chad who is real and exposes Gurus.

[@gglendormi]

Well done, thanks for giving up on stock videos and the humour as well!

[@One-way]

Im a new sub, I appreciate your time and willingness to ACTUALLY be transparent in this space. There are TOO MANY scammers preying on people trying to free themselves. YOU are a unique entity in a pool of sharks. THANK YOU for making these honest videos. It is GREATLY needed.

[@SavingSoulsMinistries]

you're doing Gods work. Thank you so much for all you do. God is great, i'll pray for you always

[@roysoncrypto]

I love this video!! I'm in a very similar situation, although I dropped out of high school, and got into real estate investment then quickly realized I needed a better income to support my investments and family. Currently going back to school for my Fiancé but I want to do this full time while I go to school for her satisfaction lol. Really thankful I found your channel and I can honestly say you've already helped me along my journey in trading. Love you're outlook and attitude on trading, I will be a lifetime subscriber no doubt :) If you need any advice on investing in single or multifamily real estate I'd love to share what I've learned.

[@donyang3128]

I've journalled literally for 10+ years and this video is a friggin gold mine of wisdom. I'm so glad to see in the comments that many appreciate the content. Unfortunately too many have been duped already, just like me. Noobs will always want to treat trading like its an app that they download & it automatically should make money for them. ENTITLEMENT. The #1 reason why people are attracted to trading in the 1st place & the very tool that those popular KZbinrs use to trick y'all. I'm so glad I found this channel. Peace

[@Geo_Stone]

Great work, watched all the way to the end. 😊

[@EzViL]

You the man and sound young not saying you are I'm the same way look and sound 21 but definitely not lol but great vid and thanks for being you

[@jaco9286]

for real. It's such a breath of fresh air. To find someone REAL on youtube is difficult.

Heroic effort Iman. I am enjoying the vid so far. I just wanted to comment while I was watching it.

[@ImanTrading]

Thank you very much Dave :)

[@diannss7980]

thank you for making this amazing short courseeee

[@dkosinski3]

Amazing stuff ImanTrading. Thank you for putting this together and I hope it helps more people discover the important parts of trading.

[@whypree_tho]

The profit from this video will make you stop trading and turn into a full time KZbinr LMAO this will be another 13k realised profit like your last hit 😂

[@PX-747]

Not sure how I stumbled across your channel, but I'm glad I did. Loving the content! I was afraid to learn Futures in the past (have traded stocks, options, and forex), but thanks to you, I'm excited to jump in now.

[@robinehambaram6631]

Eye opener. Keep up the great work, Iman. Many thanks to be an honest trader.
